Another product highlight featuring a combination of tube and transistor technology. The fusion of sound and impressive performance comes with a variety of connection options, foremost among them HDMI for seamless integration of the TV with all its sources. With carefully selected and already burned-in ECC 81 tubes, the MA 700 delivers exactly the sound that connoisseurs appreciate. Thanks to the downstream power transistors, there's no need to compromise on impressive output power. Five analog high-level inputs, four digital inputs, plus a phono input for MM systems provide the foundation for easy integration of extensive systems. Additionally, Bluetooth with the lossless aptX standard allows for sound streaming from smartphones, tablets, or computers.
With the ever-growing range of video services, it becomes increasingly interesting to reproduce their content in quality. Thanks to the HDMI input of the MA 700, this is easily achievable - even the volume can be controlled via the TV remote. All connected sources, from gaming consoles to set-top boxes, can thus enjoy the audio capabilities of the hybrid amplifier. What looks like metal here is indeed made of it. This starts with the solid housing, continues with the brushed aluminum front panel, and extends to the controls, which also allow you to feel the cool metal with every touch. Otherwise, it’s pure music. The inputs are subtly visualized by individual LEDs, whose brightness can be dimmed in two stages, ensuring that nothing distracts from the enticing glow of the tube.
